    C'Mon Now!

    Spidey's mom replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Homemade soup -yum. As long as the saltines are on the side (smeared in butter) or the cornbread is on the side (slathered in butter)... it is ok. I love the broth of soup . . .don't want it gummed up...

    What do you do at your workplace to still feel the spirit of Christmas?

    Spidey's mom replied to NurseEnvision's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking NSR means normal sinus rhythm. Then your next statement makes me think I'm right. But . . . I'm probably

    Does working at a small hospital make me less of a nurse?

    Spidey's mom replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, not true. In fact, as others have stated, you might just become a more well-rounded nurse due to not having an IV Team, having to draw your own labs, having all kinds of patients and not just...

    What do you do at your workplace to still feel the spirit of Christmas?

    Spidey's mom replied to NurseEnvision's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital where I work has an acute care side and a LTC side. We have a Christmas tree in the lobby every year and the LTC patients are invited out to sing Christmas Carols, decorate the tree, and...

    Bullying online is NOT harmless

    Spidey's mom replied to Dianna11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, I'm not sure how that story fits the "micro aggression" definition. Love the term

    Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    Spidey's mom replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that focusing on the behavior and not the title is a better way to go but . . . I still wonder why the title of this thread says that a "Dr." told a patient nurses are stupid when it was a...

    Bullying online is NOT harmless

    Spidey's mom replied to Dianna11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Love that quote as well! Me too. I was surprised it was about being a member of AN. Strong opinions are definitely part of the culture of AN - especially if you hang around on the political...

    Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Spidey's mom replied to EmpoweRN's topic in General Nursing

    I went back and watched the video again and re-read what she wrote before the video link. The woman in the video is NOT criticizing overweight health care workers nor is what she wrote criticism. In...

    Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Spidey's mom replied to EmpoweRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Was there another video up? The one I saw was not judgmental about overweight nurses and made the point that being overweight doesn't mean you are a bad nurse. I don't get

    We've all been venting

    Spidey's mom replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    We had a reminder meeting about HIPAA yesterday at our IDT meeting with hospice. Some employees talked about patients out in the community and meant it for good but intent is not important. You...

    Family members bring us junk food!

    Our potluck folks bring homemade food - crockpots and casseroles,

    Would it kill you to say thank you?

    Spidey's mom replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I liked your post back.

    Oh, I "like" things more now . . . and I only do 3 dots for ellipses . . . you know who you are AN

    Family members bring us junk food!

    Spidey's mom replied to guycna95's topic in General Nursing

    You just made me remember the Clint Eastwood movie, Gran Tornino, where his Hmong neighbors keep bringing more and more food over to thank him. My hospice colleagues have no problem eating the high...

    Family members bring us junk food!

    Spidey's mom replied to guycna95's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm fortunate that I'm not really interested in sweet stuff; cookies, cake, pie, etc. Our own hospice staff brings in sweets for our weekly IDT meetings and it is easy for me to have it pass...

    Would it kill you to say thank you?

    Spidey's mom replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I don't use a mobile site because I refuse to access AN via a phone. But as noted, I check my bookmarks as you said, and if there is a new post, it will be bolded. That's an easy way to check. And...

    Would it kill you to say thank you?

    Spidey's mom replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I check my Bookmarks each morning and see if there are responses to the threads I've participated in. I don't want to be notified and turned off that function when my email got way too busy with...

    Vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to manda18's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, listen to your physician. This is very important. Anyone coming in contact with your newborn needs to have an updated vaccination as well. That means Grandma and

    Spidey's mom replied to principessaGG's topic in Home Health

    The system our hospital uses (not the hospice system which is different) went down a couple of months ago for over two weeks. We used paper charting. We didn't have to go back in and chart on the...

    I think I will give negative feedback

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well Annie - you realize you are talking to the majority of responders on this thread. We all think the OP had a good point and have been discussing the reasons. I didn't see this as

    I think I will give negative feedback

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I became a nurse at 40 but I was taught by many old-school profs who were pretty tough on the students when it came to professionalism. I appreciated it because I had zero medical experience before...
